I figure that it's an honest mistake/assumption is all.... No harm done, right??? This thread has been trouble more than once now, and we really don't like locking threads if not absolutely necessary. So with that said, can we all please just be tolerant, understanding, and do our best to keep things civil/peaceful???? Thanks everyone!!
This portion of my statement wasn't directed at any one person nor any particular viewpoint.... Merely just a reminder/request to play nicely is all!! This community is as great as it is for many reasons including the fact that it's like one big family even if at times it gets to be slightly dysfunctional :lol: With that said, disagreements and arguments happen and that's normal as is in every social circle, BUT we have to find ways to steel it all back in!! In the current climate of kratom consumers in the America specifically we are facing numerous issues still including my state of NJ being next on the chopping block.... So it's of utmost important for us to aim for solidarity and unity!!! We are all on the same team at the end of the day!!!

I am afraid to read the answers. I lost my Uncle to Covid-19 on April 22nd, and the grief is endless. Nothing is normal. We can't bury him. We couldn't say goodbye. No one saw it coming, and I cry every day.

The thing that hurts the most are the conspiracy theory demonstrators stating that 'Covid was a Lie' or 'Coronavirus is a hoax.' I am in a support group (online) for peoole who lost their spouses, best friends, and relatives to this disease and it hurts our community very, very much to heat that.

It is like being stabbed every time I see a sign, protest, or some mob saying it is a hoax. There has been national mourning about isolation, quarantine, standing six feet apart, and wearing a mask is now suddenly a political act. There has been national mourning on the economy. There has been a lack of National mourning of the climbing upwards to 80k lives lost. After 9/11, people paid attention to the victims of the attack; various wars, we have mourned the dead. Now, the dead are treated as a sidenote, not worth memorializing, and essentially America has told me and others in mourning that the lives and losses not only don't matter, but that they didn't exist in the first place.


Sorry, but These protests are destroying me.

Saw a few scientists and doctors, meeting a few weeks ago & discussed activity that spreads COVID-19.. They were saying, besides coughing and sneezing (obvious) that any kind of yelling, shouting, or singing - Expels tiny droplets into the air.. Why yelling at a sports event, or singing in church, should BE avoided...

Protesting would seem to be like, the WORST possible gathering ?? :o Young people. Some wearing masks.. but many.. screaming, yelling, and singing. Spewing their droplets into the air... While clustered together, standing close and milling around. Bad idea. Bad timing. Guess we'll find out in a couple weeks...

For NOW, can we just say.. No Protesters Allowed in supermarkets? :?

You are absolutely correct.

I just got back from Walmart and it seemed like protestors were just hanging out there.

There is tons of peaceful protesters on many different platforms. None make it to the news... why? because its not on the agenda. Anything with antiffa always on the news even if regular people get along with it. I have a feeling its not the peoples war. All people should stay home. Those elites that fight each other, should battle each other out. regular people should be staying home at the same time no chance of covid for them. I think but not sure, judging by some videos and what people say, Antiffa hates all cops. So it might be a war between them both.. and you do not want to be cought right in the middle of it.

There's a peaceful rally in my area today and the local extremist militia boys decided to show up all decked out in their military gear and their AK47s or whatever it is they're carrying.

Doesn't look quite so peaceful now.

CNN features peaceful protests often. Just depends on where you look. Those batshit far right wing sites are only going to show the violent stuff to make the left look bad. tbh the only time I hear about antifa is when trump mention them during one of his bizarre rallies or press conferences where he takes no questions. But then again he brings up conspiracy theories often, and attempts to rewrite history. It's his go-to move.

Then why can you find adds to join antefa on facebook or craiglist and other places? they pay money. Its regular people battling for elites against other elites with money. Some say its Chinese drug money others say that or this, list goes on. Honestly people are broke and want to get a check so i can understand them joining groups like that. And then it see's flying shits about covid. its always been power vs power. So if you want the extra cash and if you look hard enough you can be a leader of your group antefa and paid tops. I am not on either side of the elites. Cops i am sure not all perfect but without them it can be a lot worse to not keep order, sure they over step and miss use power here and there. But also their is no reason to break and loot small businesses where you shop. Imagine that happened in your city and everything was looted, no more food or clothing, you stuck with only your house items. and if you got no gun you are at risk category of losing it all if and riot stops by your place or even gangs groups looking for food. No more 911 for you cause no one will show up. Their has to be some order. just sayings. And some are regular people who see what is happening and want to get some pie out of it. Free is free. Especially if the store is already broken for you.

Can't claim this is true but I've heard that it's bots, weird as it sounds.

Antifa is not an organization, it's a political stance. Anti-fascism. You don't say I belong to anti-fascism. You say I am an anti-fascist. I'm not a fan of fascism myself.

When did "antefa" become an organized group? I agree with herbal hippie. Anti Fascist is a mindset, I'm against fascism too so guess I'm antifa ? :lol:

Some Say? Idiots online say all kinds of BS - sounds like U need to get informed and watch CNN the real News? :P Better then being un-informed and listening to social media dummies ? Just saying.. lots of fake rumor mongers out there. Show me the advertisement for Antifa, got a link? Or was that something you heard.. It's total BS.. you're spreading that BS with no proof.. spreading lies on the Internet. Doing the same on Youtube and your other social media? Maybe with some of the Qanon bunch, wow. You should get together with ReLeaf, a kratom vendor who promotes Qanon? lol

You know Seattle and Portland .. anarchists wearing black hoodies.. smashing windows last Friday. But how many of those looters were right-wing False Flag operators? Boogaloos. to provoke a "Race War"? Outside Agitators, not associated with antifa one bit. A few of them have been caught.

Three Nevada men with ties to a loose movement of right-wing extremists advocating the overthrow of the U.S. government have been arrested on terrorism-related charges in what authorities say was a conspiracy to spark violence during recent protests in Las Vegas. https://abc30.com/boogaloo-las-vegas-pr ... d/6231077/

I am sure you dont like conspiracy so no need to go further. No, i dont need releaf, i work 10 hours now and sleep a lot... Got my own life filled with shit. If you look around so called conspiracys you will learn antefa is not what they stand for. Not counting regular people who end up in the mix. But i agree to disagree, i am not here to dig you documents of step by step how this 101 thing works. your old enough to know the ropes to look both sides not only CNN. Or even better look all sides. oh wait, never mind, all you need is CNN. :roll:

Everyone knows BLM and antefa go hand in hand, I seen over 10 videos now where black owners of business said on video crying BLM looted their stores and they really dont care what they preach. And yes they had signs BLM.. with antefa signs. that my friend is all over internet that you favorite CNN will never show. you cant hide this stuff no matter how much you ban it, it ends up all over other platforms. If your sincere and really want to see videos, NOT CONSPIRACY.. rEAL LIFE, ask me, if i am nice enough i might spend some time getting you a list of videos. If you dare to say all lifes matter, you will be put on your knee's for floyd, i seen bunch of videos of that as well. Bit if you even mention white lifes matter, your lucky if you font get shot. I seen this dude glasses knocked out and beat up for saying something like that and similar videos. Videos dont lie. CNN shows one thing only how they want to pattern your brain wave thoughts. Shit like this real stuff will never be played 24/7 on repeat. Its banned. 2 different worlds.

On that we agree! :D man I'm too busy to spend much time on conspiracy shit.. Yes there is often a back story or hidden details behind events.. Floyd committed a home invasion robbery. Served time for that, he's not a hero to me... For sure opinions are all over the map. Black people have different opinions too.. they are not some monolithic horde, but BLM is a rallying cry and it's about time. It's about time. Your comment about white lives ? well, that's what U get on social media I guess... Lots of whites don't understand racism or what's happening? Tear down all Confederate statues.. put those in a museum somewhere
